Packaging technology to cultivate a new agricultural era
The question isn’t whether you can sell more crops. The question is whether you can improve yields, reduce costs, and respect the environment. We have you covered from greenhouse and mulch films to tunnels and banana bags.
Decades of field experience and a commitment to continuously improving our films mean that our solutions will help you bring more product to market with greater efficiency and less waste.We’re also a leader in a wide range of packaging and export solutions like banana and melon bags. Then to tie things up, use our agricultural twine for better crop yields. Or improve your shrimp yield with our bog liners.
